Getting 2 chances at a top 4 pick (with one of them at a 52% chance), is probably the best possible scenario. Plus, if the Bucks continue to fall, that Pelicans swap reads as: ATL gets the best choice between both the Pelicans AND Bucks pick. So if the Bucks jump in the lotto then that's another chance at a top 4 pick.
I get the idea that draft picks don't always turn out and that AD is good right now, but imagine pairing Cooper with AJ AND Darryn Peterson?
Rissacher is just icing on that cake.
AD to ATL for those Rissacher+that pick is my dream realistic trade currently.
The timeline is reset. We'd have 3-4 premier talents all on their rookie deals.
Even getting one of AJ, Peterson, Boozer and ANOTHER top 10 pick would be a huge reset along with a Flagg, Lively, Max, and Risascher.
That doesnt doesnt count what we could get if sell off older pieces such as Kyrie, Klay, P.J., Gafford, Naji, etc. If we can trade AD for Risascher and that Pelicans pick. I say we start the hard rebuild. Maybe keep Kyrie and P.J. for veteran leadership, etc. But the rest need to go.
